SPACIOUS FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME, 300 STEPS TO BEACH, PRIVATE POOL/HOT TUB

Welcome to “Lobstah Tales”. Our family loves spending time in the Outer Banks, so purchasing this home was a dream come true.

New for 2025 - New roof, pool fence and family room couches!

Lobstah Tales is perfect for a family beach vacation getaway. We have two children and appreciate kid-friendly accommodations when we travel. It is located only 300 feet from a direct beach access that hosts a lifeguard station! That was a huge bonus for our family - quickly running back to the house to grab a forgotten item is so convenient! The pool and hot tub are the perfect way to end a long beach day, wash off in the outdoor shower and jump on in! For rainy day family activities, the house boasts puzzles and games as well as a rec room with a foosball table and newly added ping pong table, and of course wireless internet and cable TV in each bedroom and living areas.

Our beautiful home is located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills and is close to many restaurants and shops. Enjoy views from 3 different decks (one with a screened porch). You can see the Wright Monument from the back, or take in partial ocean views from our favorite reading spot deck on the third floor.

Looking for activities? Your family will enjoy the close proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, Pier fishing, putt-putt, movie theaters, go carts, boat rentals, restaurants and shops galore!

Great Stay for Families

This house was just the right fit for my family of five (though there is plenty of room for a few more). The house was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. We spent most of our time down in the pool but also appreciated being able to walk to the beach, local shops, and restaurants.

Short walk to the beach

Great location. There was plenty of room for children and adults. The pool was always a great way to end a morning st the beach, then maybe some time to relax in the hot tub after dinner. This was our 5th year at this great beachhouse one block from the ocean.

Needs maintenance!

From a distance the online pictures look great. The proximity to the beach and local was good. Unfortunately, the facility was in need of basic maintenance. Examples. Multiple light bulbs where out. One burner on the stove was out. Both the kitchen sink and upstairs master bathroom had sinks that leaked. All of the outdoor furniture need to be pressure washed. It give the appearance of mold and mildew. The TV in the upstairs master bedroom occassion would only have a half screen. Everything listed could have been fixed with some basic maintenance between 10am and 4pm some Saturday. If all the issues where resolved we would have given it 4 stars.

Perfect House to make Family Memories

The House was beautiful, and spacious enough for all 10 of our group to spread out and have their own personal experience. The kids and teenagers loved the pool and hottub, and the ping pong and foosball gave afults and children a fun activity to play together without leaving the doorway. Literally waliing distance from arcade, 5 guys rstaurant, and we really felt we were a block away from anything in Kill Devil Hills. You access the beach via public access , great spot. Dare Devils subs and Pizza and Bonzers Restaurant on either side of the street on beach road, made it so easy to grab a simple, quick bite for the kids between meals. So grateful this wasnour house for OBX VACATION 2023

Easy walk to beach allowing for a quick return to the house for lunch. Walkable to restaurants, pizza, and ice cream, yet short drive to many other great restaurants. The owner, Kristin, responded instantly with any concerns/questions, the best we have ever dealt with. Definitely hope to return again.
